The accomplished upgrading of Strila-Alenia Air Traffic Control System manufactured by SELEX (Italy) installed at Kyiv ATC Centre is aimed at the essential enhancement of the System functionality and ensuring of continuous development of control technologies.

Project of implementation of new ATC System for Lviv ATC Centre

In the frame of launching of new ATC Centre at Lviv RB, the installation of Roksolana ATC System manufactured by Aerotechnika-MLT Ltd (Ukraine) is near completion.

Project of enhancement of the Joint Civil-Military ATM System

The implementation of Tsentr Automated Airspace Management System within the Project framework is aimed at automation of the operational processes and procedures on the airspace management and use, granting permissions, development and setting prohibitions and restrictions for the airspace use, provision and improvement of the flexible airspace use, further enhancement of the civil-military coordination and intercommunication between ATS/ASM/ATFM units, preparation for introduction of the dynamic airspace management and simplified coordination procedures, as well as effective use of the automation equipment. In September 2014, the System preliminary acceptance tests commenced.

Project of creation of the Airfield Surface Movement Control System

In order to automate the runway ATS processes in the manoeuvring area and coordination with the respective airport services, the Project of introduction of the hardware and software system for the airfield surface movement control at the airports of Kyiv (Zhuliany), Lviv, Kharkiv, Dnipro and Odesa manufactured by Techvestservice Ltd. (Ukraine) is in the progress.

Project of the improvement of the personnel training system at the Training and Certification Centre (TCC) of UkSATSE

3D-Tower simulators were installed at the Ukrainian Training and Certification Centre (TCC) and Regional Branches of UkSATSE.

The installation of a new ATC system simulator for Kyiv ATC Centre is planned now.

To provide training for TWR air traffic controllers, the TWR-1WP tower simulator with a 180-degree view of the aerodrome traffic manufactured by the Canadian company Adacel Inc. was installed at all RBs.

Along with the above simulator, the TWR-4WP tower simulator with a 360-degree view and 45-degree tower procedure simulator were installed at TCC of UkSATSE to provide training, refresher training, development training and practical skills and knowledge examination of TWR controllers.

In 2013, a radar control simulator used in addition to the available aerodrome control tower simulators with a view of the aerodrome traffic was accepted for operation.

Project of improvement of the professional training for the Ukrainian aviation personnel at the premises of Aviation Training and Certification Center

Completion of adaptation of the training program for aeronautical personnel of civil aviation to the requirements of the Harmonized technical standards of the European Union (in pursuance of the Law of Ukraine "On the National Program of adaptation of the Ukrainian legislation to the EU laws").

Completion of distance education implementation.

Renewal and modernization of the simulation training facilities.
